Jake's full name is Jakov Muller, pronounced Jack-ov. It was his maternal grandfather's name. He hates it cause it's an old man's name.

against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

#like im not gonna name names but i can think of at least 3 channels #where they stopped posting short form content and went #wait the patreon is paying my rent im no longer a slave to the algorithm gods #HELL YEAH TIME TO SPEND 5+ MONTHS PUTTING TOGETHER A 3+ HOUR VIDEO #and i eat that shit up every time

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

#like majority of the time kids are not just 'being naughty'. they have big feelings inside little bodies it's a lot #also like. #it should be illegal to dye your hair fun colours if you aren't prepared for kids in public to ask if youre related to a my little pony #EDIT: the notes on this post are an absolute cesspool. i don't care about your reasons for hating kids you sound like a disney villain

With the Reddit 3rd party app crackdown and the ongoing horseshit Elon Musk is pulling with "X", I realize a lot of people here might be pretty new. So I put together a quick and easy guide for using Tumblr for anyone new who might need it.

Tumblr was made by David Karp and we call him Daddy around these parts (^///^)

You are not safe from fandom-gif attacks ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

Speaking of fandoms, the tumblr fandoms are always ready to grab their [object] and go to war against the Beliebers ╰(*°▽°*)╯

The only safe refuge from fandom tumblr is with hipster tumblr. If you can get a cool alt-girl to take you under her wing, you might be safe... for now (●'◡'●)

You will watch the first episode of Supernatural... and then you're part of the Winchester family. (Or if you skip right to season 4, we don't blame you. It's where Destiel starts (*/ω＼*))

This is not a glomp-free zone ☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

Use missing e. It's the only way to make Tumblr useable on Internet Explorer (this is the most popular browser and you're probably using it right now) :-D

Our only adult-supervision is John Green... and even then does that REALLY count as supervision? DFTBA! φ(゜▽゜*)♪

Just this once, everyone lives. It's bigger on the inside. Elementary, my dear Watson.

If you see Misha Collins staring at you, the polite response is "Saving people, hunting things, the family business." O.O

I might lose followers for this, but this blog supports gay rights, and yours should too (14 gifs of Sherlock and The Hobbit)

Tumblr will teach you more about the world than you'll ever learn in school. ○( ＾皿＾)っ

Tread carefully... we have teh yaoiz O.o. Oh you don't know what that means? Well let's just say... it's full of lemons here.

If you see Hannibal Lector in a flower crown, tell him it looks very nice. His boyfriend Will Graham made it for him. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Do not enter the dog park. The dog park will not harm you.

My Thoughts On Stewjon

🛑 DISCLAIMER 🛑 not all these HCs are mine, the "Stewjon is space Scotland" is a popular fandom take I like and decided to expand on.

I've decided to put all my HCs for Obi-Wan's homeworld and its culture here. They'll be under the cut!

Like I said above, I follow the "Stewjon is space Scotland" fandom idea. Aka, the Stewjoni share a lot of cultural and linguistic traits with Scottish and Celtic culture. Which I think include but are not limited to: calling one's children "Bairns", log throwing as a sport, kilts for special events, terms of endearment such as Mo Leannan (my lover, my sweetheart), M'eudail (my darling, my dear), Mo Chridhe (my heart).

Stewjon's —like Scotland's— diverse landscapes consist of dramatic mountains and glens, forests and moorlands and a highly indented coastline fragmented into a diverse range of islands. There are also rolling lowlands, fertile straths, broad estuaries and settlements.

Stewjon is located in Wild Space, which is why it's not a planet that's talked about that often. They aren't as introverted as the Chiss, nor as isolated as the Kel Dor, but they're just really far away for the Galactic Republic to really bother to reach them. Because of this, like the Chiss and the Kel-Dor, the Stewjoni have their own type of cult for force users and —much like with the Kel Dor— their force users specialize in predicting natural disasters- focusing on predicting earthquakes, landslides, and floods. But people also reach out to them for visions about their future.

When it comes to names, the Stewjon like to "paint a picture" with people's names. Obi-Wan's birth name is Ben Kenobi, which means Mountain (Ben), Born Of Fire (Ken) and Heart (Obi).

His name was changed to Obi-Wan Kenobi when he was discovered to be force sensitive. His parents took him to the Stewjoni force users and one of them, an elderly woman, reached into the force to see what the baby's fate was. She concluded that the child had to be given to the Jedi, and sensed the possibility for darkness in his future, so she renamed him Obi-Wan Kenobi, making his name translate literally to Heart-Dark BrightHeart. To symbolize the presence of both darkness and light within the Heart

Obi-Wan has totally called Anakin his bairn just to be able to get away with calling him his son, without anyone being able to chide him for it, and without risking Anakin's training into the Jedi path. He never told anyone what the word meant, not even Anakin.

CONTENT WARNING: TALK ABOUT POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER FOR CHARACTER META PURPOSES, ALONG WITH SPOILERS OF THE BIOHAZARD 2 MANHUA, BELOW THE CUT.

First, some context. For those of you that don't know, Ada's Backstory (which we were briefly shown in the Biohazard 2 Manhua) is that she was born in a war torn asian country, seemingly orphaned at a young age as she was fending for herself by age 14. During a bombing and after days of not eating, she found a loaf of bread in a dead guerrilla soldier's backpack, but dropped it when a bomb struck nearby. Another child, seemingly younger than her, grabbed the bread and ran off, Ada picked up the dead guerrilla soldier's shotgun and chased him. She ended up finding the boy in a wrecked house, trying to feed the bread to his sickly mother. Ada killed them both and took the bread.

Due to her childhood and the decisions she made during her most desperate times, Ada has developed PTSD. It manifests in many ways such as avoidance behaviors (self-isolation, emotional repression, avoidant attachment, hypervigilance), intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, guilt, insomnia, and hallucinations, both auditory and visual. In her case, there's also food insecurity.

For auditory hallucinations, Ada at times wakes up to the feeling that she just heard a shotgun go off right in the same room she's in. Those nights are the worst for her when it comes to her insomnia, she's not able to go back to sleep and feels as if someone is going to break into the room to 'make her pay'.

Her flashbacks and hallucinations are usually triggered by patterns. Specifically, geometrical patterns that include diamond shapes and triangles in horizontal succession; and color patterns such as yellow on green and a specific shade of purple being worn by women- especially women with black hair, because the boy she killed was wearing a green t-shirt with a yellow patter of diamonds in horizontal succession, and his mother was wearing a purple t-shirt.

As for food insecurity, Ada keeps stashes of canned goods in the places she tends to spend the most time at (her hideouts, safehouses, etc). As sophisticated as she can act when she's keeping up appearances, she's not a picky eater at all. She'll eat practically anything. However, she doesn't eat bread. It's easy to let slide in a normal context because diets that forbid bread are normalized. But in Ada's case, she will literally starve to death before eating bread. Just the smell makes her nauseous.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

tried to vent in a trans space about how, as a trans man who’s been on T for a long time (over 7 years now), i have noticed that the more i pass as a man, the less welcomed i am in queer spaces unless i go out of my way to feminize myself. and how that sucks! and it’s isolating!!! and it feels horrible to see ppl who used to like you and be close to you drift further and further the more masculine (& therefore more comfortable in urself) u become…

only to get ppl replying to me and saying “well if you dressed more fem then ppl wouldn’t be intimidated by you. you signed up for this”

i’m sorry but i didnt sign up for social isolation when i transitioned, i signed up for gender euphoria and comfort in myself and my life. and i had hoped that the ppl in my life would be able to see how much joy that brings me and continue to love me.

still thinking about "decolonising" missionary work.

the way you decolonise missionary work is by not doing missionary work

the way you decolonise missionaries is like this:
